organized

My boss thinks I am cool. Why is this? She threw a very large caseload at me. Very large. And everything was behind in notes, checkups, safety checks, contacts with the kids, and just unorganized in general. She simply said, “I am so sorry” and handed it over.

Eleven days later, I am caught up. I hate when work is disorganized so that was my first task. Today, she called because after our all day meetings in the plain lands she wasn’t ready to bear the tolls and highways to get to Hades for a measly hour before turning around. She wanted me to call a family and reschedule a home visit.

Already done.

She wanted me to confirm with another family for tomorrow.

Already confirmed, canceled and rescheduled.

She wanted to make sure I had the paper work for another family for Friday.

Yep. Done and copied.

She wanted to make sure I knew where I was going tomorrow.

Google maps already printed to family’s house, from house to child’s school and reverse directions to get back from the farm to Hades.

Done. Done. Done.

She wanted to make sure that I was keeping up with the case notes.

Finishing last paragraph as she called.

She wanted to know if I had emailed her to remind her about the meeting rescheduled for Monday with the home that canceled.

Emailed, voice message and post it note on her desk.

She wanted to know where I had been all her life?

I laughed.

Yep. I like my job a lot and my boss likes me. Cool beans.
